concentration camp? its a friggin cow shed. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Horwich folk just love to moan because they have nothing else better to do.
I have never heard of anyone contesting the building of a cow shed on a farm.
I hope it goes ahead and its built 10 metres high and painted in orange with flashing lights, then you would see the difference between having something to complain about and just being a busy body. Absolute TW#TS Horwich people.
And if it ever does resemble a concentration camp then I hope whoever complains gets sent there for hard labour and the first thing they see is a wrought Iron sign saying 'Arbeit Macht Frei'

oh and how much noise do you get from cows and horses? I hope they have a house warming party and hold an illegal rave there for 4 days with lots of ket flying around

With all the bitterness he's spouting it's almost as if 'BigBlob123' was the person trying to get the 'development' approved (and who got knocked back in previous attempts)

haha! I suppose it does look like that, but I'm an Horwich resident that is sick to the teeth of folk complaining, you seen the the stuff on the loco works? residents would rather leave it to rot, rather than see it developed into something that's beneficial to the town.
They complained about the greenwood pub being made into a shop that would benefit residents and got their way, now its a burned down tip.
Crazy horwich folk

This must be the same Bob Shaftoe again under the name Big Bob. If you hate Horwich folk so much move! You quote raves and flashing lights...how old are you? Ask your parents to move as we Horwich folk don't want to hear your negative whinging comments any more. Move to a more developed area where you will get flashing lights and a pub similar to that of The Greenwood.

I think you've got the wrong person because my parents live in Wigan and I've never used a different name.
The rave thing was just me taking the mickey out of the noise that cows and horses could cause.
Its a bloody cow shed at the end of the day and one that the owners needed due to losing 4 ewes, anyway the council also decided it was a stupid thing to contest and have since allowed it so bring on the all night Livestock Party!
Any suggestions for the playlist? I propose The house of the rising sun by the Animals or Crazy Horses by the Osmonds

I think you are right. BigBlob123 seems to know a lot about this case. i have not read anything about the owners losing 4 ewes.

This farm is literally next to my parents house, where I lived until about 5 years ago. That hill in the back there: we used to sledge/skateboard-bo
bsleigh down it all day. We named it 'Cool Runnings'. It was the 90's. The field this farm occupies was literally empty, and was just grazing grounds for aberrant goats. One day a horse farm came, literally tucked itself behind some hedges, discretely, erected some fences and gained mastery of the fabled goatherd. Of course there was a little more traffic, and yes sometimes they could be inconsiderate when they moved their livestock/equipment, but honestly; much worse crimes out there. Everyone is capable of being inconsiderate at times.

The only potential problem is the fact that the road leading up to it is narrow, and it leads directly onto the intersection of a residential estate, which used to be the spot of the 'show homes': an artificially sculpted piece of landscape that became an informal play area, an attractive green spot, and a natural buffer to the community around it.

Now, the farm is on a slight hill, with this area at the bottom, so the actual problem lies with the behavior of the weather: When there is high rain, water is washed down from the farm, across the couple of ft that separate it from the road, and can cover the road surface with thick mud and the general flotsam of a farm: washed out plants and manure, etc. The real tensions at play here lie between the local residents who consider this to be spoiling the area, and the farm which considers the site appropriate and doesn't consider itself to be negatively impacting the area around it. There's no one particularily at fault, and neither party is doing anything other than expressing their intentions and voicing their concerns; its not a black and white issue.

But this article. This article terrifies me. How is this language considered neutral? this is just a very transparent attempt at creating artificial animosity, and its disgusting. It's poorly researched, to boot. ..."In addition, a petition signed by 16 neighbours claimed that the development would mean the public could no longer get on to the site, which used to provide access to Rivington." The farm BEHIND this one (the one on the hill at the top of the photo with the ugly summerhouse/Eye of Sauron) blocked off this land to the public YEARS before this farm even showed up, putting up big fences that did absolutely nothing to stop us from throwing ourselves down Cool Runnings, with nothing but a fishtail skateboard between us and broken teeth. This story is shameful, and its sources are highly dubious.
